The 2005 ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia

Now officially endorsed by ESPN! Based on an amazing database created by award-winning baseball analyst Pete Palmer, and edited by baseball commentator and historian Gary Gillette , this is the most complete and accurate baseball reference ever compiled-completely updated through 2004, and including a foreword by ESPN's Peter Gammons.

"I want a bumper You can have my Baseball Encyclopedia when you tear it from my cold, dead hands."
